Candied Sweet Potato Cupcakes


Oh my, these little gems were absolutely amazing!  I am a huge fan of Sweet Potatoes, so my expectations were pretty high, and they did not disapoint. 

We started by baking three large sweet potatoes until the juices began to seep, and carmalize.  While that cooled, we made the Candied Pecans to put on top!  Once done we mixed all the other ingredients together and bake until our little cupcake perfections came out.  The frosting isn't really a frosting, more like a mound of mini marshmallows you place on a sheet and broil until browned.  After they are done you carefully scrap them up and place on top of the cupcake, quickly followed by a few of the pecan pieces.

The end result is so delightful, if you are a fan of Sweet Potatoes, and really who isn't?  Then make these, seriously right now, and don't be afraid to serve them as a side for Thanksgiving, they are that good!


Up next, Gingerbread cupcakes!!!

Until then,
